It’s really funny how they millenialized Che as if the global poor idolized him because he hated adults for littering on the streets

I think they were portraying Che as he existed on a t-shirt rather than in history

They should have made him more wrinkled!

i have this memory from 2010 or so of a guy wearing a Che shirt that said I have no idea who this is, and I'm still mad about it

Imperial chauvinists literally cannot help but tell on themselves.

Did he just fall out of a coconut tree?

He got unmasked as the monster terrorizing the town and trying to drill oil to fund his protests. His last sentence was “we’re gonna kill the environment to save the environment”

Lmao. Classic Che.

I saw this show recently. It was weird as hell because initially, for multiple episodes they showed him as a cool guy with a good cause, but then randomly made him a villain with no reasonable motivation or setup at all. I guess someone on the production team got nervous or ran out of ideas.

Oh they gave him the Marvel Special

More likely explanation is that "he had great ideas but did them the wrong way" is the leftmost message the lib writer could conceive of making about Che

I think he only shows up twice. First time he’s protesting random trivial crap, second time drilling oil

That's how all revolutionary figures are shown in liberal media. Usually, the go-to is to create a character with good intentions, a practical mindset for achieving change, and enough of a material base for an uprising, but have to character assassinate them by arbitrarily making them evil in some manner, jumping the shark.

It is extremely difficult to make a sympathetic, well-written revolutionary villian, because if the audience isn't reminded to hate them they will side with them.

If you think that’s bad, wait’ll you see Tomato Stalin from the Attack of the Killer Tomatoes cartoon
